This week in Fife, a robbery suspect tried to make a run for it, but didn't get very far. PD Asher was quick to get his nose to the ground and tracked to the suspect who was hiding in a hedge. Suspect sent straight to custody and PD Asher got his favourite treats. #PDAsher

Ewe may be wondering what #TPDHondo is up to? More livestock training for this pup, all done in a controlled manner & with the farmers support. He's getting pretty big now & hopefully will soon be tracking naughty people through fields & this will definitely help catch them πŸ˜‰

We always pick our dogs for their, temperament, drive & intelligence. #PDHuey however was a bit disappointed today when his dad asked for help with a bit of report writing. Supposedly, dad said it would be fun but Huey isn't happy as the "mega-bytes" were not very tasty!

We're absolutely delighted to share the news that we have been formerly adopted by NFRSA. It's an incredible charity that already supports many of our retired dogs and handlers. As you can see some of the handlers have been busy fundraising recently for this amazing cause.

It's important our Dogs get training in a variety of locations & buildings. Special Ops support help us by providing buildings like this one in Livingston. Dogs like #PDElsa are then ready for the streets & able to make sure the public, colleagues & her handler are kept safe. #SOPPS

5 - 0 to PD Rico & his lead holder last night. At a housebreaking he found 3 suspects trying to play "hide & seek". Then after suspects were seen stealing from a building site he tracked 2 of them hiding in bushes on a nearby golf course. All reported to COPFS. #TheNoseKnows
